Not many pics this time.
Had a nice time, just got home.
Engine temps were good, with the addition of the coolers. However, I believe the "failsafe" t-stat got too hot and did as designed... failed in the open position. No trail damage on my XJ, a few scrapes on one of the long arms, and a rock rail is well polished.
The Commander did suffer some carnage. On a steep rock climb, the front end started coming around. To avoid a potential roll, he backed up, but hit a tree. Another guy winched as he finished the climb. Tailgate is dented.
6 hours on the trails/arroyos. Burned 1/2 tank of gas. Was a good way to spend my day off.
A couple guys shot some video, will link to them as soon as they post them on our local forum.
